MAC Nasty Gal Collection Review + Swatches

I cannot get over the lighting in my new room. Its perfectly bright for blog photos in the day time. I LOVE IT. My photo light box was totally destroyed during the move, so I'm trying to make it work with what I have. So far so good. I'm enjoying how my pictures look, and I hope you guys are too! December is like the month where I go crazy on gift giving and also gift giving for myself. I ordered this from MAC online along with two Sephora orders on the way, another lipstick order from another company (which a post will be up soon!), and I have an Ipsy bag I need to review! Jam packed month!

Today I am featuring the three gorgeous lipsticks from MAC's Nasty Gal Collection. I knew once I saw the pictures online for the lipsticks, I had to get all three. THEY'RE SOOOOO PRETTY. They're up my alley with the colours. I love love love dark lipsticks, and not only that, they're matte. Be prepared for a million pictures.

MAC Nasty Gal Collection

If I were part of a set of triplets, these would be the lip shades we'd be rocking. I absolutely love them!

Some more candid shots I did of them, because one is never enough.

"Gunner"

I know, this is probably a colour most people wouldn't want to pick up because it's a little "out there". On my camera it shows up almost an indigo blue? In person, I feel like it has more of a purple hue to it as well. I would describe this as a blueberry shade. The perfect colour for those who want to wear black lipstick, without having to. I feel this shade would look amazing on those with fair skin.

"Runner"

THIS. IS. MY. SHADE. I love deep/dark/burgundy reds. I had to pick this up no matter how many lipsticks I have that are quite similar to this! MAC's lipstick formulas are top notch, and I can't say no to a matte burgundy red.

"Stunner"

This colour definitely "stunned" me. HAHA. Sorry, I had to. Anyways I wasn't planning to purchase this shade, but I was all like "well you're buying two of them, might as well get all three colours!" I'm so glad I did. Stunner is not a bright red as I thought it would be, because it totally came out pink! Well, a red with a pink undertone. I'm not that big of a fan of bright reds, but this one works for me.

Swatches - bright natural light

You can definitely see that gunner is a purple/blue in this picture, and stunner is fairly pink.

I'm pretty sure these shades are limited edition so get them before they're gone!
